How does your garden grow?

My gardening experience has been mostly of the vegetable type, but I've always had a fondness for English cottage gardens bursting with flowers. We're making plans to build some garden beds in the spring (our yard is mostly shady, though, so we'll be pulling up the plants in one of the few mostly sunny spots: daylilies and a leggy rose bush we inherited from the previous owners), and I hope to put in lots of flowers there. If the flowers don't take, then I may have to resort to something like this. (Via Craft.)
